OH, like tokyo jungle? I'd love it ^^

Finally a game that don't use zombies!

Shelter? Sounds good. I'm really looking forward to Shelter 2.

This sounds like a good twist on the open world survival genre.

Just curious tho, are you going to be working on this by yourself or in a team, I don't know how much time you have but if you're by yourself and you only have a semester then it could be a huge amount of work.

Also if you don't mind me asking, What school do you go to?

Well, that would be my dream game. Surviving as any animal I want.

no idea what this topic is about but in case someone would like here is a key to Fortix 2 RLJQ7-NWG5Q-NERBK. Good luck to the first ninja

It sure isn't a concept that hasn't been really explored before. There are games where you play as an animal, but they're often shallow or too arcade-y. I'd be down for a more sim-like game, where you're really experiencing the life of an animal and have control over its choices and the choices of its group. Maybe you could play as a loner.

tl;dr Mount & Blade as an animal. Fund it.

If i'm gonna play an animal, i'd rather play a rebel cow. but otherwise yeah always nice to see something on the subject.

Any plans to include things such as deforestation, desertification, endangered species ?
No humans is nice, but poaching, tourism etc would make the game more interesting personally, or at least the consequences of their activities even if they are not present.
Kinda gives more weight to the term "survival", especially if you can play a lion or an elephant.

Any social interactions and activities as they exist in nature ?

Any references to things like literature on the subject/area ( say Kessel ) ?

i have a feeling someone wasnt satisfied with goat simulator

I remember a long long time ago, playing as random low level creatures as a test in Everquest.

Good times trolling newbies, running away as a freaking snake, running between their legs and stuff lol.

Took the survey and by the way, the website design looks awesome too :)
I love it.

Looks very interesting. Thanks!

Meh, i dont have cv but hope that i helped with my survey :]

Mating? wink wink xD

So like Watchdogs, except you get to be the dogs instead of watching the dogs?

interesting idea, but I am not interested in any mmo's... too many of them.

It'd be interesting to turn this into an inversion on the typical survival genre

Instead of a human being attacked by wild animals, you're a wild animal being attacked by wild animals. Or perhaps even humans.

Answered the survey. Really nice project, hope my answers served you well. Thanks for the giveaway also :D

It reminded me of Savage: The Battle for Newerth

I've read you only have one audio designer. If you'd like a second, feel free to reply or message me. I can go uncredited or whatever. It'd just be cool to help out with a game's sound design is all.

I would just like to suggest that you be prepared to scrap the dehydration/illness mechanic. If you can make it work that would be excellent, but the main purpose of games is to be fun, and having to find a place to drink every 15 minutes could get annoying.
Regardless, I wish you luck, it's a fantastic idea!
Thanks for the giveaway, and fantastic web design! xD

I think the Souls franchise already set a bar for a game not wanting the player to win.

Rated Meh for multiplayer-only. Sounds nice though, filled out the survey and all.

I, for one, think Realism is rather important in survival games. However, surviving shouldn't become tedious, like (as SJ said), having to drink every 10 or 15 minutes. But since water is so scarce in savannahs, it should definitely play a large role, e.g. finding a water source for yourself/your pack/whatever and having to defend it against others who want water too, decide whether to try and take on one of those packs for water while you're strong or trying to find one on your own, risking to get weak of dehydration and such. Anyway, good luck to you and your project!

(If you add singleplayer, make that 'Best of luck')

Submitted the survey.
I think after you create the game, you can also work on a DLC for a rain forest with monkeys and what ever is there.
The game has potential, in my opinion ,if done properly.

Good luck.
